Pale, gold-tinged straw. Clean, fresh aromas of apricot, gooseberry and green fig, with a distinct suggestion of exotic fruits. Concentrated and full, showing impressive volume for the year. Lively, integrated acidity gives the wine very good life in the mouth and extends the bright gooseberry and kiwi flavors on the back end. Rating: 90-93 Ian d'Agata - Stephen Tanzer website (May 2014)

Made, as it always is, with 100% Sauvignon Blanc, this was far easier to vinify than the reds at Château Margaux. It’s a sappy, smoky, reductive style, with notes of pink grapefruit and smoked lemons, tangy acidity and a long, tapering finish. 2014-20 Rating: 93 Tim Atkin MW, www.timatkin.com (May 2014)

The yield was a tiny 25 hl/ha. 13% alcohol. They finished the harvest before the botrytis attacked. Very aromatic indeed with concentrated, zestiness and superb, sour lime notes. This is a very clever Pavillon and I love the lower alcohol which balances the wine so much better than the 15% alcohol vintages. They only used 40% of the crop.

Bracing, lively, mouthwatering verbena, thyme and white asparagus notes show crackling mâche and chive notes through the finish, with a flicker of sel gris. Not as much of a rapier as the 2011, but it’s close. Rating: 92–95 James Molesworth, The Wine Spectator (Apr 2014)
